New York: A mass shooting at a Manhattan office building on Park Avenue on Monday (local time) resulted in five fatalities, including an off-duty New York City police officer. Authorities confirmed that the gunman, identified as Shane Tamura from Nevada, also shot himself dead. Three civilians were among those killed, and several others sustained injuries.
The incident occurred in a building that houses major financial institutions and the National Football League (NFL) offices. Witnesses reported hearing a series of gunshots from the first floor during a second-floor presentation, forcing occupants to flee or take shelter in a conference room. The building, located in Midtown near Grand Central Terminal and one block from St. Patrick’s Cathedral, was swiftly secured by emergency responders. Officials stated that Tamura possessed a Las Vegas-issued gun license. A police investigation into the motive and circumstances of the shooting is ongoing.
